One year ago I have made the major decision to have gastric bypass surgery with the onset of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. One year later I can say not only am I diabetes and hypertension free but I am 105lbs down and I look damn good. I am also free of any and all surgery related complications

Today I used the large adult blood pressure cuff instead of the xxl thigh cuff!!!

I had burning around my largest incision, moving around helped ease the pain. It will get better in time, it's a part of the healing process

Hi, I am in Philadelphia, I had gastric bypass 1 month ago. I'm here to chat if you want!

I was also swallowing pills 2 days post- op in the hospital

Just a reminder to those interested, we have set up a closed group on Facebook for June 2014 surgery patients. You are all welcome to join. We have about twenty members so far. It's an easy place to shade photos, recipes, etc...

I just sent a request!

Just a few more days for my surgery on June 10th! Im so excited and nervous at the same time as I imagine many of us are. I followed you on instagram cutiepieinchi, my instagram name is Hellooo_nurse_

June 10th seems to be a popular surgery date, at least I know i'm not alone in my jouney

*slowly claps for this post* As you can tell by my profile pic, I like to get model ready.

Hi, I am booked for a Gastric Bypass on June 10th. It's something I have dreamed of for years but I am also so scared of the op and the future! Would love to chat to others in the same position. Thanks.

Hi, I am also booked for June 10th. I am just a bundle of nerves!

Hi ladies, I guess i'm part of the june 2014 crew with a surgery date of June 10th. I'm in a strict 1000 calorie pre-op diet, it's hard to stick with but it'll be worth it in the long run. Looking forward to getting to know all you ladies as I am a newbie!
